Svetlana Tikhanovskaya left the White House confident that the voice of millions of Belarusians was heard.
US President Joe Biden held a meeting at the White House with one of the leaders of the Belarusian opposition Svetlana Tikhanovskaya. The head of state said this in Twitter Wednesday, 28 July.
“I am honored to meet Svetlana Tikhanovskaya this morning at the White House. The United States supports the people of Belarus in their pursuit of democracy and human rights,” Biden wrote.
In turn Telegram channel Tikhanovskaya said that she left the White House with the confidence that “the voice of millions of Belarusians was heard.”
“As a politician, I am delighted with this meeting. President Biden said that the world continues to struggle between autocracy and democracy. And you know that Belarus is at the forefront in this struggle. Therefore, I called on President Biden to help us make Belarus a successful example of non-violent transition to democracy “, – the channel quotes the words of Tikhanovskaya.
She assured that the Belarusian revolution is not related to geopolitics.
“This is the democratic choice of Belarusians, and the moral duty of the United States is to support us,” Tikhanovskaya said.
Formerly Tikhanovskaya met with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, his deputy Victoria Nuland, adviser to the US president on national security Jake Sullivan and representatives of the Belarusian diaspora in America.
It was also reported that an alternative calculation of the results of the presidential elections in Belarus has been published. In the first round of elections, Tikhanovskaya’s candidacy was supported by 56% of voters.
